Braking systems of trains

First, check automatic operation, and then electro-pneumatic brakes on the single track locomotives only check the effect of the automatic brake. Check the brakes at the first stage of permissive indication of track lights when not needed a more efficient braking. Initial speed should be 50-60 km / h (or another installed according to local conditions, especially for passenger traffic in front of their entry into the dead-end station).

Brake is released after the rate reduction by 4 - 6 km / h in a freight train with the composition of the empty cars and 10 km / h for passenger and freight trains loaded. In the train of empty wagons long axes of the handle 400-480 crane operator's stand in the position of overlapping for 8-10 s. The total reduction in speed is achieved in the empty train during the holiday brakes, shall be not less than 10 km / h Reduce speed to 10 km / h should occur at a distance prescribed by local regulations, or in the course of time: on the ground and slopes up to 0,002 - less than 22 s in trains of up to 200 axes and 32 - in trains 201-400 axes on the slopes more than 0,002 to 0,004 - less than 25 seconds when the number of axes 200 and 40 - when the number of axles 201-400 (when braking is performed on areas where there are no reference points).

Evaluation of time or distance trains to reduce speed 10 km / h is an indirect test of slow motion.

If verification of the effect of inhibition is not received within 10 seconds to the passenger, and 20-30 in the cargo trains, you should immediately perform an emergency braking.

In the freight trains are connected with the autonomous action of automatic brakes brake lines on the route system in the presence of synchronization check as usual, in the absence of synchronization crane operator's first step of producing a locomotive brake line pressure reduction of 0.7-0.8 kg/cm2.

After slowing down to 5 km / h or if the
speed is not reduced, the team transferred to the engineer of the locomotive of the train braking, second stage 0.6-0.7 kg/cm2. Automatic brakes released after reduction of the speed of 10 km / h

To check the brakes are allowed to use electric braking at the first point of departure from the platform, where scheduled a stop and braking before reaching the first platform, defined by the local 'instructions or performed at the approach to the signal, which requires lower speed.

Thus, test the brakes after changing the control room allowed the locomotive brigade, already produced from the working cockpit check of the brakes as usual.
